The 1 to 10 pitched roof provides a comfortable and identical slope to that of the original topography and has a low roof edge to further connect the roof life to the garden life, such as easily handing over barbecues from the garden.

The partitioned spaces are also organized with eight skylights above each room, serving specific family members: the younger sister’s skylight above the children’s room, the elder sister’s skylight above the study room, the father’s skylight above the bedroom, the mother’s skylight above the kitchen, and the family’s skylight above the dining room. The thin roof, timber columns, and structural plywood panels allow for a flexible, partitioned space and open the view through the house and into the nearby valley and Mt.
